Baby Cries

***

Sakura Haruno woke up the next morning with a grumpy mood. It was either she woke up on the wrong side of the bed or she was just simply grumpy. Female hormones of her older-self unknowingly kicking in. With her pink teddy bear, she lazily made her way to the kitchen and arched an eyebrow when she saw Deidara wearing an apron...

...that had pineapple and heart designs.

"Ahem." She cleared hed throat, calling his attention. Once he saw her, he grinned from ear to ear,

"Good morning, Sakura-chan! Sit down and I'll serve you some breakfast, yeah!"

She ignored her nii-san being too enthusiastic and did as told.

Soon enough,

"WAAAAHHH! TEME, I SAID I'M SORRY! HUHUHU!"

Naruto came running in for an angry Uchiha on his tail. Well, that's what he gets for attempting to cut his silky, duckbutt hair and use it as a feather duster. Typical.

"YOU DOBE!!!"

Sakura sighed, and almost barfed when a foul stench wafted her nostrils. "Eew! What is that?!" Deidara laughed, then placed a bowl of brown...gooey..bubbly...   okay, I lost words. It's just disgusting.

And even a six year old would know.

"Eat up, kid! I made it with love, un!!" *^▁^*

Sakura's face-----> _(._.)_

The pinkette made a disgusted expression and instantly grabbing Naruto by the collar, interrupting their little chase.

"Eh? Sakuwa-chan?"

"Nawuto, you eat it."

"Huh?! Why!?!?!"

"Because if you end up in a hospital after eating what Deidawa-nii made, we'll know it's poisonous." Sasuke butted in, prompting his elbows on the dining table. Naruto's gaze drifted to the ..thing.

~T_T~

"YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!! IT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE RAMEN!! WAAAAAAAAHHH!!"

Deidara ---> -_-#

'Geez. Thanks for the reminder, un.'

Sakuwa's POV

Deidara-nii should be banned from the kitchen. Seriously. What he made looked anything but edible. =__= even for Naruto. I sighed for the hundredth time and noticed Sasuke-kun staring at me. I raised an eyebrow at him. "What?"

He shook his head, frowning. "You actually act like a normal girl, Sakuwa."

What does that suppose to mean?

Sasori-nii then came in, still yawning. He ruffled my hair and kissed my head before turning to Naruto and Deidara-nii who were already bickering.

"Okay, idiots. What seems to be the problem?"

His blonde partner responded with matching hand gestures, "THESE KIDS, UN!! THEY'RE DISCRIMINATING ME, YEAH!! NOW I HAVE A REASON TO BLOW THEM TO BITS, DANNA!"

"WHAT?! Stupid nii-san!! We're just complaining how awful your cereal looks, believe it!!" It was the blonde who countered.

"Well, that's practically the same thing, un!! And my cereal doesn't look awful!! You brats can't really appreciate a masterpiece once you see it, huh?!"

Sai entered the kitchen after a few minutes and pointed the bowl filled with brown stuff. He cocked his head and smiled fakely.

"Funny. I thought I saw that in the toilet bowl once."

I face palmed. Sasori-nii almost bursted while Naruto and Sasuke-kun laughed their butts off. Deidara-nii seemed really pissed.

"GRRRRR!! THE FIVE OF YOU BETTER RUN FOR IT, UN!!!"

Everyone stopped.

Uh oh.. Someone's being a big meanie! And considering we're the only ones present at the hideout---because the others have missions---Deidara-nii san can do what he wants.

Before I could even speak up, Sasori-nii picked me up and ran away.

"Kyaaaah! Nii-san!?"

He smirked at me, then winked.

"We shouldn't let him catch us then, 'ne Saku-chan?"

Reluctantly, I nodded getting this tingling feeling inside my chest. =___= da heck? "You're weird, nii-san." I murmured as we ran about the house.  We then entered a room.

My eyes widened.

"WAAAAAAHHH----!"

"Sssshhh!!" He covered my mouth with his hand. I tried not to cry while gazing at the scary puppets that hung from everywhere!!! Creeeppyyy... I then pointed to a certain space on the wall.

"Nii-san, why are our names written there?"

"H-Huh? Hmmm.. Nothing."

I eyed him curiously. "Then why is there a 1000 Ways How to Kill a Leaf Shinobi on your desk, then? Is this youw workroom?"

He smiled nervously and automatically shoved the book into his drawer. "Yup! It's my workroom. Child-friendly, isn't it?"

=___=

He should search that word up in the dictionary.

Nii-san then stepped closer to me and crouched down to my level. His brown eyes were mischievous.

"Sakura-chan, you don't want to anger Deidara, especially about the so-called 'food' he 'cooks' the next time, okay? Believe me, it's not pretty."

I blinked. "Well, nii-san, he's not pretty at all. So what's the difference?"

Sasori-nii laughed. Then..

"I HEARD THAT, UN!!"

A loud voice came from behind the door. I furrowed my eyebrows. Is he gonna blow us up now? But I haven't take a bath yet! Bully!

"Sakura.."

"Huh-----? HEY!!"

Someone grabbed me from my side and dragged me away from Sasori nii-san as Deidara-nii, Sai and a tied up Nawuto entered the room. I looked up and realized it was just Sasuke-kun who startled me. He looked pissed??

"Sasu----"

"Shh! Let's get outta here. They're annoying."

I blushed but let him take me away.

Meanwhile..

"Danna! Can't we just blew them up?!"

Deidara frustratedly grunted, looking at the two brats in front of him. Sai was about to say something when the blonde stuffed a handful of clay into his mouth; Naruto laughed but Sasori stuffed a piece of wood in his.

"Too noisy." The redhead calmly said.

Naruto glared daggers at the Puppet Master. "Hcdjavdwzjdbwjzwhahs!!!!" Yet he can't make out the words he wanted to yell at him. And that made the puppeteer smirk. Naruto Uzumaki looks so vulnerable. Psh. But whatever his age is, he's still a pain in the wooden ass. This only proves his childish behavior and clown-like personality is inborn. Sasori mused and sighed, finally countering his partner.

"No, we can't blow them up...not yet that is."

Deidara growled, but slumped his shoulder in defeat. It was no use.

"By the way, from now on, I'll be cooking breakfast, Deidara. We don't want these kids to be hospitalized, now do we?"

No one complained for both adults know it would be a risky week for them since Pein called them last night and informed Sasori that he and his blonde partner would be the ones to babysit them for a whole WEEK. The others had missions and they were quite in demand. Jeez, and no one seeked the expertise of a puppeteer and a bomber? Crappy generation.

They fell silent----except for the muffled cries and cusses the blonde kid kept making.

Sasori then remembered something..

"Hey, Sakura-chan? Are you hungry? Do you want nii-san to cook something for y-----"

He stopped in midsentence when he found the spot empty. Deidara laughed and teased his partner with mocking words,

"HAHAHAHA! What is it again, nii-san?  Hahahaha! Too bad un, the two ran away together! Hahahaha!"

Sasori deadpanned. Sasuke.
